NIGHT CHILD
Night
Child seems to have been a
small independent or custom recording label. It issued at least four 7" records, three of them in 1976 and
the last in 1977. Its first release was a Folk EP by Janet Jones,
'A Fresh Wind Waves' (NC-001; 1976), which featured some of the poems
of Emily Bronte set to music. Publisher of the songs was Aire
Valley Music, which may give some clue
as to the company's origins. The first few singles were injection-moulded, indicating
Phonodisc pressings; 001 was coloured blue, 002 fawn and 003 red. By the
time of 004, paper labels had been adopted.
